This is authoritative coming from the leadership of All Progressive Congress -APC in Nigeria. The presidency and the leader of APC senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu had few weeks ago commissioned the party’s National legal Adviser to conduct a legal review on the implications of the various court judgments and ongoing litigations about the Rivers state chapter especially on the parliamentary and executive Governorship tickets. After thorough vetting of the judgment and a review about senator Magnus Abe’s Federal High Court litigation requesting the Court to declare him as the authentic Rivers state APC
Governorship candidate for the March, 2019 Governorship election.
The outcome, www.towncrier.ng deep investigative crack-team’s revelation favoured senator Abe as Architect Tonye Cole, it was reported does not exist as APC Governorship candidate in Rivers state in the eyes of the law and even before natural justice as the circumstances that threw him up to the Rivers state APC Governorship race remains shrewded and unclear towin APC 2019 Governorship election.
It was on this strength of the National Legal Adviser’s opinion and findings that President Muhammadu Buhari and the leader of the party senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu plus other leaders of the party gathered in a private meeting inside Aso Rock villa Abuja and invited the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Senator Magnus Abe for resolution of the conflict.In that meeting, president Buhari humbly requested Amaechi to go back to Rivers state and work with senator Magnus Abe who has been selected as the Rivers state Governorship candidate in the Direct Governorship primaries in Rivers state 319
wards. As it was reliably gathered by www.towncrier.ng crack investigative reporter, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi who doubles as the Director-General of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 Presidential campaign organization,rejected the position of the President Buhari and that of leader of APC Senator Bola Tinubu saying “instead of me accepting Abe as APC Rivers state Governorship candidate without court judgment declaring so. I will resign from the party and leave it for Abe”.
The duo of President Muhammadu Buhari and senator Tinubu knowing how much campaign fund that Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi brought into the financial coffer of the 2015 PMB presidential campaign organization chose to ignore him but to watch his next political move as his insistence on choosing his business partner Architect Tonye Dele Cole as Rivers APC Governorship candidate is a bad political position.
First, Tonye Cole has not been an APC party member known acrossboard but he was foist upon the entire Rivers APC chapter by the Minister of Transportation who in 2012 also nominated Tonye Cole as a ministerial candidate but the PDP party stalwart rejected his nomination on the ground that he was never a known party member but someone, the then Rivers state Governor and now Transportation Minister Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi handpicked to substitute histhen chief of staff and now Governor of Rivers state Nyeson Ezenwo Wike who was later screened and appointed as junior minister for Education and later supervisory minister for Education under president Goodluck Jonathan.
